The VERTA Forged Titanium Lower-Off Ring is a permanent anchor ring for sport climbing installations. It installs directly onto a U-bolt or with a titanium quicklink. The ring is forged as a single continuous piece with no welds, giving it a fully smooth surface. This means the rope moves freely around the entire ring rather than wearing down one section, and eliminates any risk of weld failure over time. The 46mm inner diameter gives enough clearance to pass a rope through easily when cleaning an anchor, and the rounded interior profile keeps friction low during lowering and reduces wear on the rope over time.

Quality assurance

All VERTA hardware goes through a rigorous testing and verification process before leaving production:

1. Third-party material composition testing to confirm Grade 2 / TA2 specification
   
2. 100% visual inspection for surface defects, dimensional conformance, and finish quality
   
3. Proof-load testing on all rings and quicklinks

4. Passivation to ASTM B600-11 to remove iron contamination and restore the titanium oxide layer
